MENDOCINO, Calif. - Each week, the price of gas across the country – but especially in California – gets impossibly higher.Just before Memorial Day, the Chevron on Alameda de las Pulgas in Menlo Park hit $7.25 a gallon.Then, this week, one Chevron in Los Angeles was selling gas for more than $8 a gallon.
And now, we've spotted gasoline costing $9.50 a gallon at a gas station in Mendocino. These prices are well over the average price of gas in the Golden State, which last weekend surpassed $6 a gallon for the first time ever, according to the AAA.
